Thank you all very much for the responses. My search is part of a total remake - building out dedicated listeming/av room (working with Rives and architect on that as part of large rennovation) and will build up system. On the amp/wires front, I will try to match to get "compatible" set - my thoughts on amps, based on my listeing to date and what I have now, lead to higher power, solid state ---> thoughts are ayre. bel canto, bryston. Others thoughts appreciated.
Speakers to compare to Dynaudio Confidence C4
I am upgrading current system and wanted to get advice on speakers to compare to Dynaudio C4. I like these speakers very much (do not have them, but have listened to them a bunch) - find them very accurrate, with deep (almost 3-d) soundstage that really brings me into the music. Definatley not a soft, round sound. I am in the $20-$30k budget area and wanted to see if anyone could suggest other speakers that I should auditon that are similar to the C4s in terms of musicality.
